It's nice being not-alone

Sometimes life is long and wearisome, and in the midst, it's easy to get trapped in those thoughts. Perhaps because of this, I am thankful for those who walk beside me, hastening me on wards, grasping towards the same glory-- Christ. I am thankful for those who race before me, marking pitfalls, calling back encouragement, showing me the path that is best. I am thankful for He who ran first, told me the goal, levels the way, and leads me unto life as all nearby wastes away.

Here is the gentle way, difficult way, good way. "Walk in it, and find rest for you souls."
